KC took some photos of my favourite ornaments for me, because, as you all know, I suck.
This is the 1st year that I have all of the Rudolph ornaments - all of the different ones that I could find, anyway. I have Yukon Cornelius, and The Dentist Elf...what's his name? I have Rudolph with a light up nose, and Clarice, and I think that I have Santa in there some where, too.
This is KC's favourite ornament. She LOVES The Little Mermaid, and I do my best to indulge her. Maybe it's because she's 18 now, and I can barely see the little girl in my nearly grown daughter. Maybe it's because I'm just a big kid myself. Either way, Ariel has earned a place of honour on our tree.
Darth Vader. This is Hubby's ornament. Hubby was tired of seeing an angel or star at the top of the tree, so the Dark Lord Of The Sith has the glory this year. See him raising his fist in victory? He was a bit camera shy.....
R2- D2, another of my favourites. I had a big model of R2 when I was a kid, and have looking for another ever since my dad sold it at a garage sale. This will have to do in the meantime.
This was a gift from my FMIL last year. She hand painted one for all of us, and we think that they're great. I love hand made ornaments, I think that someday they will be the real treasures. Actually, they already are.
This is our tree, in all of it's glory. We would have bought a real tree ( not that this is an illusion, it's really there), but we don't have a car to bring it home. My brother bought one 2 years ago and carried it home 15 blocks. Tourists were taking photos of him the whole way. I have no desire to be either photographed or to struggle with a tree strapped to my back, so this was our only option. It's a little like a Charlie Brown tree, but I think that just adds to its charm.

Yay! I got to see the tree! I love the Darth Vader on top.
The little dentist is Hermie!
Love the Darth Vader on the top... too cute. AND it doesn't matter what size the tree is... it is the love that goes into decorating it that matters. THAT makes the tree 10 feet tall...
That is one cool tree! Thanks for showing it to us. I adore the Darth Vader topper.
That is the perfect techie tree. Just add lazers and you are completely there.
I LOVE IT!
It dwarfs my tree. I'll blog it tomorrow ok?
The Darth Vader tree topper, you know, it really suits you guys. IN the best possible way!
now I need to go set up a tree, dangit...we didn't do it cuz we aren't even going to be here, but I am feeling jealous over everyone's posts!!!!
OMG! Copycat, check my post tommorrow!
I'm totally posting pictures of some of my ornaments too. I guess great minds really do think alike.
Darth Vader on top of the tree is brilliant! I will never buy a real tree again unless I have hard wood floors one day. Too much of a mess to clean up on a carpet.
I'm having a Christmas party at my blog tomorrow! Git on mah prawpity!!!
